This image features the Top Fuel Dragster of Dutch racer Lex Joon. The engine is being warmed in the pits prior to a race. The weird yellow cast is caused by the characteristic colour of the spent nitromethane fumes. Burnt nitromethane has a choking effect similar to riot control gas, hence the reason why the crew members are all wearing gas masks!
